Product Description

Hand painted glass Hamsa – Large (HG- 2) CAT# HG- 2 . Large Hand painted glass Hamsa . Size: 6 X 4” . The hamsa is usually called the "Hand of God", but may also be called by other names such as the Hand of Miriam. Hamsas are popular as charms and decorations among Jews who do not consider them to have any Islamic connection other than the shared name, which is the same in both Arabic and Hebrew. Among some Jews, particularly Kabbalists, fish are considered to be a symbol of good luck, so many hamsas are also decorated with fish images. Hamsas are incorporated in wall plaques, mobiles, keychains and necklaces. Sometimes they are inscribed with Hebrew prayers, such as the Sh'ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer). Hamsas may be displayed in either direction, up or down according to the taste or decoration associated with the Hamsa. * Made and Shipped from the Holy Land * Approved by the strictest Kosher Jewish Authorities * Made by Israeli Artists* Best Price Product
